Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 8:20 AM – 10:05 AM |
| Yamaganda | 11:49 AM – 1:34 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 3:19 PM – 5:03 PM |
Disha Shool: East. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Monday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 1:06 PM – 2:02 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:11 AM – 5:50 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 1:15 AM – 1:54 AM (next day) | Vedic midnight — the middle of the night, which is not clock midnight. |
Amrit Kaal is not published. It needs the per-nakshatra amrit ghati table, which is a sourced traditional table rather than a derivation — an unverified version would put wrong muhurat timings on an indexed page (plan 6.4).
